Read the disclaimer at the video page. I haven’t watched it but I’m guessing it’s super gross. lol.
That’s exactly what we need to do with over-wintering Canada geese here in the northeast. It’s too bad they taste like crap.
@Quinn
You must not know how to cook them (geese).
Wow! That looks like fun!
But I’m not interested in eating them (iguanas). Yuck.
“I wish I was in Tiajuana, eating barbecued iguana…”
Wall of Voodoo, Mexican Radio
Chicken of the trees. Yum.
I’ve had some amazingly good geese, and I’ve had some that were quite poor. I haven’t done enough of them to know what the difference was. All I know is that they are not predictable enough for me to put them out for Thanksgiving.
Pythons, iguanas, and illegals oh my.
Are stolen elections and left-wing constitutional destroyers invasive?
How about crack heads and fluffer politicians?
“Iguanas can transmit salmonella to humans by contact with their poo.”
So, can we use the same excuse shoot homeless people in San Francisco with air guns? Count me in!
Otto’s a good boy. If the air gun doesn’t kill the iguanas, Otto will finish them off.
This is bullshit. Iguanas are vegetarian; they don’t compete with “native species”. No one is going to be getting salmonella from their poo any more than any other reptile and other animals around. They are not edible. This is the kind of pointless asshole getting joy from killing innocent creatures thing that hunters and guns a bad name.
Salmonella sounds like an Italian name. {Sal Mannella}. lol
Frogs and turtles have it, too.

And Pelosi.
They don’t have a planned parenthood for iguanas?
Maybe dart them with BC? 😀
The only iguanas I’ve seen up close (In central Am) are the giant green ones that blend in with the grass. They sneak up on you quick.
janitor, so is this an invasive species that we should welcome. Kind of like illegal immigrants coming here for love?
I just hope Otto doesn’t get salmonella.
joe6pak,
Retaining ponds draining ground-level water table in order to pack more condos and golf courses into what used to be paradise is evidence of an “invasive species.”
Not harmless lizards that eat mangos and hibiscus.
“Invasive species” is just an excuse, a rationalization to kill for fun. I’m not into that.
I was invited by a small town mayor to kick a bunch of peacocks bucket w/my Beeman R10
It was easy pickins at first, but they wised up fast and cleaning out the last holdouts was pretty sportin.
We roasted them and they ate pretty good. A guy from India told me that a peacock ready for the oven sells for a hell of a lot of money. Like north of $200
They were good, but not $200 good.
Those PCP air rifles these guys are using are pretty skookum, but I have resisted going that route so far. I get a kick out of the springers, even though they are challenging to shoot the ones with real power well.
These reptiles are all liberals. Invading beautiful areas, destroying private property, taking resources from the native populations,shitting on everything they touch. Need I go on?
Educate yourself janitor. Link below from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Invasive Species – check
Eat only vegetation – nope
Salmonella – check
New condos and golf courses have no relevance to your false talking points relating to invasive Iguana’s.

Shot one last Night…It was coming for My Plants…They’ll eat anything that
Flowers….They also eat Dead Birds.(Key West Airport)
First .177 Pellet bounced off it’s Head..Second one didn’t. It’s a borrowed
Gamo 1250 FPS….I’m not impressed…Need something a little faster.
Some of those shots were ones I wouldn’t take, especially one at the highway, but they’re doing a great thing.
Wish I could use one for Carpenter Bees.
@ Bobcat
Try a .22 cal hunting pellet first before stepping up the ladder.
You have plenty of speed, but not enough mass/weight.
800 fps will penetrate with the .22 cal pellet, but you’ll still need to hit a vital part.
Not sure what I’d pick with a huge lizard. I’m thinking their heart and brain aren’t that large and a cross lung shot wouldn’t be a DRT either unless the projectile is large enough to do a lot of damage.
Needed to take out a raccoon with distemper one time and only had a front shot available. Not as easy as a side shot to hit a vital area. Add that he was wavering from the sickness and it took four pellets in his chest for him to drop asap. I wasn’t allowed an actual firearm for this. If he was motionless I would have went for an eye shot into the brain. The .22 cal Gamo Silent Cat is that accurate.
I drop squirrels at 35 yards with one shot. A cross shot at the shoulder with them is deadly. Often, the pellet travels through all the bones and rests under the skin on the other side.
I’ll check it out.
